Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 314
Toru Amuro felt that, judging from the state of the corpse, Shibata Shiro seemed to have grasped something extremely hard before his death, and this did not match the creases on the photo.

At this time, Jiang Xia, who was watching him taking the photo, suddenly came over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shibata seems to have some strange bloodstains on the palm of his hand."

Toru Amuro pondered for a moment, and took advantage of the police officer not paying attention, he pulled the corpse's hand away.

This time, compared to the photo, he looked at the palm of the corpse with a clear goal.

There was nothing in his hand except the photo, but there was a circle of fuzzy circular bloodstains on the palm of his hand, as if he had once held something bloody, and then the thing was taken away, and the traces remained.

The size and shape, much like a wedding ring.

As soon as the keyword "wedding ring" was mentioned, Toru Amuro immediately thought of Shizuka Hattori's ring finger wrapped in a Band-Aid, his expression changed slightly, and countless speculations about emotional disputes flashed in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered that there were traces of wearing a wedding ring all year round on the hands of the corpse.And now, the ring finger of the corpse is also empty, and the ring is gone.

Amuro stared at the finger, lost in thought.

……

In Amuro Toru's heart, when Hattori Shizuka's reputation plummeted all the way, Hattori Shizuka was secretly thinking about something.

She didn't go into the study, the first crime scene, but stood in the corridor in an orderly manner, only occasionally looking into the door.

Looking at it, he sighed.

Detectives love to destroy crime scenes so much.

Well, Jiang Xia may not be included in this "men" for the time being. In comparison, although Jiang Xia also entered the scene, he didn't move anything during the whole process, and just watched from the side.

It seems that what the husband said is not wrong, there are indeed some things worth learning from Jiang Xia... When I go back, I have to remind my son not to always make trouble for the police like other detectives.

Hattori Shizuka's laid-back comments didn't last long.

As the police began to check carefully, she soon found that her suspicion was rising sharply.

Needless to say, the photo of the dead man holding it in his hand, besides, neighbor Yoshikawa Takezo remembered another suspicious thing.

——Not long ago, Shibata Shiro, the deceased, received a phone call.At that time, while answering the phone, Shibata dug out a photo from a certain book, and said "I found it" to the person on the other side of the phone.Judging from today's events, it was Shizuka Hattori who had "severed contact with Shiro Shibata for nearly 30 years" who was talking to him at that time.

With such a high degree of suspiciousness, the Mumu police department felt that it was almost time to invite "Ms. Chibo" back to the police station for a talk after inquiring about the situation with the other two.

However, when he turned his head and met Hattori Shizuka's quiet eyes, he suddenly felt weak for some reason, with a sense of oppression that he was being stared at by the superior.

The Mumu Police Department hesitated for a moment, passed by Hattori Shizuka as if nothing had happened, and stopped next to Jiang Xia.

He cleared his throat and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Jiang Xia thought about it meaningfully, and said in a low voice: "I think it's better to catch Mrs. Shibata."

Toru Amuro couldn't help but glanced over here, although he knew that Jiang Xia must have said this after reasoning, but listening to the conversation between the two, there was always a feeling of picking vegetables in the vegetable market.

"Mrs. Shibata?" The Mumu Police Department, who had copied the answer, was taken aback by the answer. Among the three suspects, only Mrs. Shibata had produced a relatively clear alibi. He subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Because she has a ghost on her leg...

Jiang Xia paused invisibly, and said seriously: "There may be something wrong with her alibi."

Originally, according to Jiang Xia's current strategy of keeping a low profile, lowering his popularity, and preventing some timid prisoners from coming to him for entrustment, he originally wanted to leave the reasoning to Toru Amuro.

However, after glancing at Hattori Jinghua from the corner of the eye, Jiang Xia changed her mind again.

He could almost guess the purpose of Hattori Shizuka's anonymous visit to him.

And if it's an inspection, he'd better project the positive image he deserves.Starting from reducing the surrounding forces, further reduce Hattori Heiji's strength and practical ability to hide from him.Although this Osaka detective has a bit of a bad temper, he can indeed attract a lot of serial murders...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xia sorted out her words: "I think Mrs. Shibata is trying to confuse the time of Mr. Shibata's death..."

Mrs. Shibata invited friends to go shopping in the afternoon.Then, before the appointed time, meals were brought to her husband—for a person who often gambles all night, the meal time is very erratic, and it can be adjusted forward or backward at will.

When Shiro Shibata was halfway through eating, Mrs. Shibata killed the man and went to a friend's appointment quickly.After returning from the appointment, she only needs to take the evening paper, which is usually delivered at five o'clock in the afternoon, into the house and put it on the dining table, pretending that it was brought by Shibata himself. Move to the time when she was shopping with her friends, and give herself an alibi,

Originally, Mrs. Shibata's plan did not include Hattori Shizuka.

But in practice, something went wrong with the planned plan—after she returned home, she found that her husband was not lying in the spot where she had attacked him before, but crawled into the study tenaciously, and then died completely.During this process, Shibata Shiro took off the wedding ring and held it in his hand, trying to take it as a death message.

Mrs. Shibata discovered this, and hurriedly replaced the ring on the palm of Shiro Shibata with a photo.

Because at that time, the neighbor Yoshikawa Takezo called and left a message on the phone saying that he would come to see Shiro Shibata soon.So Mrs. Shibata decided to leave secretly first, and then come back when Yoshikawa Takezo came to the door, and asked Yoshikawa Takezo to be the first person to discover, so as to further reduce her suspicion.

It's just that she didn't expect that not only Yoshikawa Takezo, but also a few strangers came here.

……

Hattori Shizuka listened quietly, occasionally nodding her head to express her agreement.The newspaper reports about Jiang Xia's speed of solving the case were not exaggerated...

Just as he was thinking, there was a clear and crisp sound from the side.

Hattori Shizuka was startled, and looked intently, and saw Mrs. Shibata sneer, raised her hand and threw out a blood-stained wedding ring.It was the relic that was held in Shiro Shibata's hand just now, and then replaced with a photo.

Jiang Xia looked down at the bright color bouncing on the floor, and finally bumped into his shoe, for no reason he had the feeling that the boss threw the reward at his feet after clearing the level.

He stepped back a little, watched the police officers from the forensics department pick up the ring, and decided to go to the long-lost game hall in a few days, and discuss with the younger brothers who were addicted to picking cats recently, a new way to play that he came up with during this time.
